BUS COM 250 Journal Entry - "Education for the educators"


Another short post, as I'm tired and have to get up super early tomorrow for my PD presentations. Today I spent the majority of my day finishing up a presentation on our webmail system, tossed in some internet safety guidelines along with my other presentation on digital citizenship. I'm proud of the work I've done on all of these presentations, they're all informative and I think they'll do well to educate the staff on all the things that I think that they are lacking in..technologically speaking. So, I'm probably going to run over my time for my section of the PD but I had a hard time cutting things out to make it fit. I'll just have a discussion with the principal beforehand to make sure that's it's cool if I run over a bit. Even though I've been instructed that digital citizenship and internet safety are not "things that the teachers can bring back to their classroom and use", I believe that they are a fundemental foundation to using technology responsibly and appropriately. I may bore them to death, but I hope they take some valuable information away from it. In other news, I went engagement ring shopping today..and Alyssa and I decided to buy eachother a new 46 inch tv for Valentine's day. Hooray! Tired, time for bed. Internet safety..ensure you and your children are protecting yourselves out there on the net! www.netsmartz.org. Check it out..have your kids check it out. Good night.
